The Prosecutor's Office of the Krasnoyarsk Territory reported another case of fraud with cryptocurrencies - this time, in an attempt to make money, a resident of Krasnoyarsk lost 8.9 million rubles.
In July of this year, the 24-year-old girl found a new way to make money on the Internet - trading on a cryptocurrency exchange. Scammers managed to lure her with promises of high income with little effort. The girl took a loan of 1.8 million rubles and transferred it to a fake exchange. Then the victim took out 5 more loans totaling over 4 million rubles. For one of the loans, the victim even mortgaged a car.
But the scammers did not stop there - under various pretexts, they continued to swindle funds from the victim. She borrowed another 970,000 rubles from her friends, and her grandmother lent her 350,000 rubles. Even the girl's mother took part in the scam, who, hoping to help return the funds, took out several loans worth 1.9 million rubles.
Of course, the result did not change from additional injections of funds - neither the "profit" nor the deposit could be withdrawn from the "exchange". Only after that, the victim turned to the police. At the moment, a criminal case has been initiated on fraud on an especially large scale (Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
